Can generate a fixed frequency between 100 - 2200MHz, controlled by PIC16F628.
The project started from the need to build a local oscillator to be used in a tracking generator.
This oscillator works at 2055MHz.
Entire device will work with a spectrum analyzer HP8558B
Parts are recovered from old phone ALCATEL OTE DB
Inside you can find LMX2324(U37SL), BGM1012 (driver PA TX), VCO 1650-2150MHz
Some photos with Alcatel PLL:
1. Alcatel One Touch Easy board
2. LMX2324 (U37SL) version
3. UMA1021 version
U37SL is a Fujitsu PLL. It is compatible with LMX2324. U37SL not working in TEST MODE!!! I don't have a datasheet for this PLL IC.
UMA1021 is not compatible with LMX2324
LMX2324 is compatible with LMX2322 (need pinouts modification). >>VCC supply for LMX2322 is max. 3,9V!!!<<
LMX2324 still works without problems at 2200MHZ :)
RC LPF must be calculated for maximum performance depending on VCO, R and N dividers.
